Electromagnetic Scattering from a Helix.
Abstract
Microwave measurements of scattering by a helix made from an acrylic rod are reported. All measurement results on extinction (0 = 0 deg) and angular scattering (10 deg less than or equal to theta (10 deg) less than or equal to 170 deg) are given in absolute magnitude and are displayed in comprehensive graphical form. emphasis on measurements/discussions is based on 3 principal orientations of the helix in the beam; i.e., with the helical axis parallel to the incident k, E, and H vectors. Analysis is based primarily on the accuracy of the data, comparisons to scattering by an equal-volume sphere, and some of the outstanding features noted from this experiment. keywords include: Electromagnetic Scattering, Nonspherical Particles, Microwave Scattering, and Helical Particles.
